My Quilt


















Look what my sister made me! I just want to say first, that she is incredibly talented. I couldn't come close to creating something so beautiful. I wish you could see the back; it's just as pretty as the front, and the colors are perfect for me and match my brown chair to a tee. She knows I love earth tones and I think she did a fabulous job picking patterns and a scheme just for me. She's made several quilts; one gorgeous red and blue bandanna one for H last Christmas, one for my Mom (I'll put a picture of it on here later), one for her son out of Bandannas from Korn Concerts, and I'm sure one or two more. I don't think she's made one for herself though, but she really should do that....Deb, if you're reading this, I LOVE THIS QUILT! I will treasure it forever! I might add, that this quilt is NOT machine quilted...it is hand quilted with a needle and thread; which I imagine is truly a lost art. Her trademark are the buttons that she sews on last. On mine, she put fall leaves. I'm sure for a small fortune she'd make you one!

I'm always so impressed by people who can quilt. What a talent she has...especially to do it by hand.

It looks just like you! It looks so cozy in your chair, too!

Did you look to see if you have any albums? The new kind.

none. I did order one though, so I saw one first hand and the green is so pretty...that IZOD bright spring green. Supposably, you can go onto the website, order online by using my consultant ID 361619. When they send me the 30% commission check, I just send it back to you. I will probably not be ordering until July myself, but if you want one before then, you can order online like I said, just let me know.

It's beautiful! I'm in awe of the patience she must have to quilt that by hand! I love the colors too, they just feel so comfy & homey. (can colors "feel" comfy?) Anywho, enjoy your new heirloom!
